Cermets based on copper, nickel and silver have been doped with alumina varying the proportions of these components to create, by powder metallurgy, a material that has good electrical conductivity and good mechanical strength compared with that of pure copper, together with a manufacturing process which is both cost and energy efficient. The conductivity values vary between 30 to 55% IACS showing that the thermal treatments were effective for electrical connector uses.72-77openAccesscopper alloysnickel alloyssilver alloysaluminium alloyscomposite materialscermetspowder metallurgyphysical propertieselectric conductivityhardnessheat treatmentsArtigo de periódico80210.4028/www.scientific.net/msf.802.72
